Insider Grocery Shopping Tips: Things you might not know (but probably should)

1. If it says "5 for 10 dollars" you don't have to buy all five to get the discount.
   
2. If it says "buy one get one" you do have to buy two and you have to scan both of them.
3. Sometimes when items are extremely on sale, there will also be a limit on how many you can buy. This happens a lot with meat. So always read the whole sign. You don't want to buy 5 turkey's only to find out you spent 12 bucks on one and 30 each for the rest.
4. The signs in the produce department all show the prices in terms of pounds in a large font, but they also show it in terms of kilogram in a smaller font near the bottom. When you ring things through it will ALWAYS show it in $/kg. I know that doesn't really make sense, and just causes a lot of confusing for customers but that way it looks like our produce is cheaper than it is.
5. If the store is REALLY busy, and you have one or two items that don't need to be weighed, you can take them to customer service or the Starbucks counter and they can ring you through there.
6. The first Tuesday of the month is 10% Tuesday, but you have to spend 35 dollars for it to work.
7. If they is a "spend 100$ get 100 air miles" coupon, don't assume your cashier will automatically give it to you. They're technically not supposed to unless you ask, so always ask if they're any coupons available. And the "spend a 100$" part doesn't include GST or deposit fees, so a lot of the time you have to spend more than 100$.
